Hi all,
Witchers are equipped with a number of items, spells and abilities that make them adept monster hunters and incredibly difficult people to RP. I've created a super basic form for you to opt in/. Feel free to use it, write your own blurb or just PM me during a thread to let me know if something should or should not be detected.
Medallion Detection:
Here is a link to the wiki page page for a comprehensive explanation. Here is a quote that explains the gist of whether your character might make the medallion pulse.
"Medallions vibrate in response to magic in all its forms, including curses, charms, and spells. They also warn of lurking monsters born of magic or magic experimentation. However, witcher medallions are not foolproof, certain monsters such as dopplers and higher vampires remain undetected whenever in range of a medallion."
Scent:
Please let me know a brief description of what your character generally smells like. If something is different and detectable, write it into your tag and Geralt can react.
Pulse Detection/Truth Sensing:
Geralt can easily hear pulses and can use this to figure out if someone is scared/excited etc. He can also use it to hear someone coming.
You can also opt out of him using it to detect if your character is lying. If your character is not a good liar he can sense their pulse not matching their words. If they're a trained liar, he can probably miss this.
Ultra-Hearing:
This is more for characters who are super stealthy, Geralt can hear an elf nocking an arrow deep in the woods and their breath as they do so he has incredibly good hearing and it is hard to sneak up on him.
That said if your character SHOULD be able to, let me know and he won't hear them coming.
Axii:
Once again, a wiki link.
Axii is a hypnotic spell Geralt can cast, when it works he can use it to influence mood or actions. It doesn't seem to be able to work on some characters but because it is Witcher it doesn't explain why this is. I suspect it is not super effective on strong-minded, magical individuals. It works on monsters.
If you would prefer Geralt doesn't use this or you think it shouldn't be effective let me know.
Opt in/out:
Crow
Date: 2021-09-11 05:43 am (UTC)Scent: Machine oil, something sweet but acrid (a component called Ether), and something distinctly foreign (he's also an Awoken, a fancy space human from a black hole, so he kind of smells like space).
Pulse Detected (and description): Yes, pulse is of a well athletic human male (equivalent anyway). He could probably detect if Crow is lying, but Crow likely wouldn't, he's more of a by omission type at all. (Glint doesn't have a pulse, so he might be able to sneak, but he wouldn't go far from Crow)
Gait/Breathing: Light, stealthy; Crow is clearly trying not to be detected usually. He breathes normally, but holds it when he thinks he's in danger. I'm down with him in general being detected; the only time he might not be would be if he was using void magic stealth to hide himself, and we can work that out case by case.
Axii: I'd prefer this not to be used on him in general, so either it isn't effective or we just don't give Geralt a reason to need to cast it on Crow lol. (Obviously, weird mind bendy shit events are a case by case basis)
